LOL that's what its called now?
I found this today and thought I'd share it. though what you've posted on The Prophetic movement does cause me to wonder where the people are being lead.... hm...
(I still think that God has it all under control and the HOLY Spirit should lead all people individually and they should test anyone who claims to receive a message from God with the words of the Holy Bible!
That being said I still believe spiritual gifts are Biblical and in use today, just that Satan has his counterfeits and fakes to lead people astray. GOD is more powerful and like Moses' snake ATE the Pharoah's snakes, so will the Holy Spirit destroy any bonds of darkness that try and blind or bind God's children.)

What Is Prophecy?
By Betty Miller
As some may not be familiar with prophecy in the church, we want to share this short explanation of Biblical prophecy before we share an actual prophecy from God.
First, what is godly prophecy? It can be summed up as words that are spoken on behalf of God. A prophet or prophetess is one who is a spokesman for God. It is a divine utterance that comes from the Holy Spirit. (Note: Just as there are prophetic words from God, there are also false prophecies that the Lord warned us about in the Bible. In
Matthew 7:15-16 Jesus said,
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits--." We must prove the source of prophecy before accepting it as coming from the Lord). God is raising up many prophetic voices in the earth today. His gifts of prophecy are basically of two types. One is the "simple gift of prophecy" which every believer can express under the unction or direction of the Holy Spirit after they have been filled with the Holy Ghost.
The other is the "office gift" of the spirit which is given to a prophet or prophetess who is called to the "five-fold" ministry office as outlined in
1 Corinthians 12:28 which says
"And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." Also
Ephesians 4:11-12 which says
" And he gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
The basic difference between these two types is, the simple gift of prophecy is given to all spirit filled believers as spoken of in
1 Corinthians 14:31, "For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted." It is for the purpose of edification, exhortation and comfort as spoken of in
1 Corinthians 14:3, "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."
The "office gift" of a prophet or prophetess is given to speak to the body of Christ at large. The ministers who are called to the office of a prophetor prophetess will deliver messages also which include edification, exhortation and comfort but their messages can also be directive in nature and futuristic in content as well
(Ephesians 4:11-15).
Presently God is leading His people with prophetic preaching and teaching. A prophetic movement is taking place in the world.
